    This appears to be a short post by David Icke, referencing a somewhat longer post Why Are Giant Sinkholes Appearing All Over America? Is Something Happening To The Earth’s Crust? (theintelhub.com), which asks the question why are so many sinkholes appearing, but doesn't reach any conclusions.

    From my perspective, it's another one of these catchy doom & gloom things but that's best explained by human bad plumbing/sewer/rainstorm drain systems beside water table fluctuations due to pumping out acquifers like in Florida:

    Why Sinkholes Are Eating Florida

    Marc Lallanilla, Assistant Editor
    Date: 05 March 2013 Time: 05:32 PM ET



    Florida is known as the Sunshine State, but living there has a dark side, as the family of Jeff Bush discovered when the 36-year-old man was killed after a sinkhole opened beneath his house last week.

    Authorities are now reporting the development of a second sinkhole in Seffner, Fla., just 2 miles (3 kilometers) from the sinkhole that destroyed the Bush home, according to NBC News.

    Sinkholes are an increasingly deadly risk in Florida, due primarily to the region's geology. The state is largely underlain by porous limestone, which can hold immense amounts of water in underground aquifers. As groundwater slowly flows through the limestone, it forms a landscape called karst, known for features like caves, springs and sinkholes.

    The water in aquifers also exerts pressure on the limestone and helps to stabilize the overlying surface layer, usually clay, silt and sand in Florida. Sinkholes form when that layer of surface material caves in.

    The collapse can be triggered by a heavy overload, often caused by a downpour or flooding, or when water gets pumped out of the ground. When water leaves the cavities within the limestone, the pressure that supported the surface material also goes. Depending on various factors, that overlying layer can give way abruptly, as it recently did in Florida, or gradually, said Ann Tihansky, a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Florida. [See Amazing Photos of Sinkholes]

    And Florida's groundwater has been disappearing rapidly as the state's population grows at breakneck speed: By 2015, Florida is expected to hit 20 million residents, making it the third-largest U.S. state, according to BusinessWeek.

    To slake a thirsty state's population, Florida has been aggressively pumping out groundwater, destabilizing its limestone bedrock and contributing to the growing number of sinkholes, according to a USGS report.

    Nowhere is this more true than in "Sinkhole Alley," the rapidly growing region of west-central Florida surrounding Tampa Bay, CNN.com reports. Sinkholes can also occur naturally, but from 2006 to 2010, the number of sinkhole claims to Florida insurance companies tripled, according to BusinessWeek.

    Sinkholes are even more common in Florida during the winter months. "There's a high occurrence specifically in January or February," Tihansky told LiveScience. "And that's related to freezes, when farmers pump groundwater onto crops, strawberries and oranges, to protect them from freezing."

    The other peak in sinkholes in Florida occurs in May and June, which are typically dry months with the year's lowest groundwater levels, Tihansky said.

    These factors, combined with unstable rainfall patterns — the Tampa Bay region has had less than one-third its usual rainfall this year, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune — make sinkholes an ever-increasing threat to Floridians.

    From the article Camilo:

    Quote His brother tried to help him when he heard Jeffrey screaming, but it was too late. The entire bedroom was sucked deep into the earth and the home had to be rapidly abandoned. Now authorities are admitting that he will probably never be found.
    Living in the area, there have been several things that have bothered me about this whole deal. One of the main ones being the last sentence from the quote. From the very get go, "authorities" have maintained that the body is irretrievable, and that the gentleman is in his final resting spot. Hmmm, not even gonna try huh? Oh well...

    Another is that our local repeaters are now sounding the alarm, that folks across the entire region are living in sheer panic, fearing that they may be next to be instantly swallowed up. Utterly absurd...

    Is there something weird going on? Yes, but I just don't know what. Too many non questions not answered.

    Ac Tah the "Mayan guy" claimed these are caused by the use of particle acceleration machines - most notably Cern, but there are many, many others. His claim was that free protons were bouncing of of earths core rather than being absorbed and create "holes" in the earth. However, I am not sure the credentials of this guy to understand such things, nor am I educated enough in that area to determine any merit to that claim (although he spoke on the topic as though he had at least some understanding of advanced physics). Perhaps someone else can.

    If what Ac Tah says is remotely true (or if indeed "holes" are being created by any reason), then I find what Kiforall claimed her gifted son had told her interesting. Something along the lines of "the gravity on earth will become less ",(indicating less mass), "and eventually the moon will go away because we won't need it anymore ..." (apologies if that isn't 100% accurate - I can't recall the thread right now, but I think that is very close). Indeed, if these "holes" are truly voids of material of earth, mass will lessen and gravity as well, allowing the moon to eventually drift away ... Just a thought for certain folks to contemplate and try to connect more dots with -- treat it as such

    It could be a weapon -- being used to sink America into the ocean ... interesting thought ...

    My wife and I have often talked about moving to FL, but now she says no way. So maybe this is being used to keep the influx out to some extent - it worked on her anyway.

    On a good note, this could be a viable option for waste disposal.
    Just throw the city trash down the hole

    my personal opinion on sinkholes is a simple one.

    Fracking and extraction of natural gas. Once the gas is out the ground eventualy caves in because the gas is gone.

    It would be very interesting to see maps of sinkholes in relation to natural gas harvesting.

    It was meant in humor...you know....ha ha ha

    Some times it is good to take a break from the doom and gloom and take a moment to enjoy laughter.

    If they dropped a rescuer down there on a rope they'd have to start answering questions about how deep the hole is and what's down there etc.....

    The modelling software just tells them to skip the hassle.
